Show us your TIES

I used to wear loud and 'wacky' ones in the 1980's(1980's does the 40's look) along with the thin leather ties of the time, now I prefer conservative(boring) ones including striped ones I must admit, for me it's about the differing textures and weaves in both woollens and brocades as opposed to hand painted designs...I am a sucker for a nicely woven label though!
I still have a few 80's and 90's silk ties too.

The 80s didn't do 40s neckties very well. lol lol
The Jaxon Art neckties have the most interesting labels with elves etc.

ah we didn't know that then though JP! .they didn't do 40's suits that well either, though I did have a very nicely cut grey flannel 50's style two piece now I think of it....wouldn't fit now though!

I've never seen a Jaxon tie JP though I do have a very nice 50's Tooke that has a great label.

A few recent tie acquisitions

 

[Two Types]

EEEK! I would happily wear a majority of those. It's great to see a vertically striped tie (not that I would wear one).

 

[Fastuni]

Nice lot. 3, 4 and 6 are best.

 

[Two Types]

I'm particularly keen on the one with the pink and blue triangles in the bottom row.

 

[The Good]

Both are great examples of space-age patterns. The black and red one is exceptionally rock-n-roll. Very nice acquisitions.

Thank you! I really like that period of ties. They also seem to have a look that is slightly futuristic, to me, hence why they are really space age, like you've mentioned.

I like the look of a vertically striped tie, although I don't own one yet. I should think about that.

Those are all nice ties, although it's a shame about those stains on the off-white one with the brown pattern. How difficult are they to clean?

Agreed. I also especially like the pink and white and ? Dark colored one with circles in the row above it.

 

[LuvMyMan]

Geez, they are all very nice. Right now, I think we have enough ties for a week or two (here in our home).....lol!

Everyone that has sent us ties and pocket squares helped make this Christmas very special and wonderful, indeed. Hey! It's a wonderful life! hehehe!

Second row up from bottom pale blue one is very nice.

85 cents?! Where are you finding these things? That is a GREAT find!

 

[The Good]

I agree! Where did you find it? I don't see the stain, and I think it's a great tie.
